We had a nice flow in the third quarter where we had a lot of confidence in our defense and they had difficulty controlling Melo and our transition game. |
We had the opportunity to win that game two or three times if we got more rebounds. I don't know if we're fatigued, small, the ball's bouncing the wrong way, we don't jump or we just want Marcus to be back and that's the way we're telling the basketball gods we need Marcus back. |
We had two or three months where we had two or three players every day who did not want to be here. I thought we got tired of that. When Ruben and Reggie came in, I think everybody felt the cloud was kind of blown away. |
We had very poor shot selection and we didn't move the ball. This was a bad game both defensively and on offense. When we fell asleep on defense, Elton Brand really made us pay. |
We have a big game coming up against Memphis on Monday. I enjoy those games because we seem to get up for big games. Winning that game could give us a tiebreaker situation at the end of the season, and we may need it at the end. |
We have been dealing with injury all year long and our perseverance is our personality. This is something we have to persevere through, and we only have maybe eight or nine bodies healthy for practice, and that will limit us in how much we really go at practice. |
We just try to give them all an attacking mentality. That's the whole thing is to play aggressive basketball. |
We need everybody to get that spark, to get that spirit. |
We need to have a run. We need to get healthy and start a run somewhere. |
We never got offensively into the game. Our offense just lacks energy on the road. You have to have some confidence to score points. |
We only played half a game. |
We played great in the second half. We had many opportunities to come back, but they always made a shot and made a play. |
We played in a pretty intense, consistent rhythm the whole seven games. The energy in the first quarter made us confident enough. (The Hornets) never scared us. They never got mentally into our heads. |
We played with a pretty intense, constant rhythm the whole seven games. It's going to be something, hopefully, that we can build on and get stronger. The energy in the first quarter got us confident enough. ... Our start sort of flattened them a little bit. |
We settled for jump shots. I'll have to watch the tape to see if there was any defense. |
